It's always a good time to begin some reflection and get started with therapy! I am a pschologist who does teletherapy with young professionals and teens. My focus is to help you feel heard in the stress of school, work, relationships, etc. and to help you commit to a life that feels fulfilling and valuable. I achieve this by working from a values-based approach (ACT) with humor and compassion. Teletherapy allows you the flexibility to receive treatment - from school, work, or home - without the commute! I would love for you to reach out, or go to my website, to set up a free consult call!

I understand that choosing a therapist can be overwhelming. With a positive attitude, sensitivity, and sense of humor, I will work closely with you to get your life or relationship back on track.

I've helped with depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, anger, etc. I work with individuals of all ages, as well as couples and families, and those who are skeptical about whether counseling can help are definitely welcome.

The natural course of life presents many transitions, challenges, peaks and valleys. Each of us is "hard wired" in a different way, whether it be "nurture" or "nature". There are times in our lives when we can bounce back from anything and then there are times in our lives when our resilience falls short. It can be extremely helpful to have another person offer us new perspectives, be a sounding board, be a reality check or show us the way out of the storm. I enjoy working with adolescents, adults and families.

I believe I was called to assist those in need. My aim is to help those struggling with their mental health by incorporating psycho-education, promoting useful techniques and creating helpful tools that can best assist them in their day to day. Often therapy can be scary and intimidating, and my hope is to help you in your healing journey in whatever way that may be. I strive to support communities and hope to publicize resources for all those struggling and those in need.

My passion lies in helping people transform how they view and communicate with the world in order to improve their relationship with themselves and with others. Prioritizing a strong relationship with my clients allows me to create a safe space where emotional experiences can be explored and new insights discovered. Using Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), I naturally remain neutral and non-judgmental to allow for physical, emotional and relational healing to begin.

You can live a more rewarding life. I understand that most feelings, thoughts, and actions, no matter how troublesome or destructive, come from a place of trying to adapt or even just survive your current life situation.  I know that if you are struggling you most likely want better for yourself but may have difficulty making changes. I can help you to better understand patterns of thoughts and behaviors that leave you feeling stuck and then is then our work together to determine the best way to lead you to where you want to be.

Counseling can be a very rewarding experience and help with many different concerns that you may be facing. I believe that balance is an essential part of happiness, and when one aspect of our life becomes out of balance, we often experience distress and discontent. It is important that therapeutic work be tailored to your specific needs to address your concerns. Everyone is unique and the problems that people are facing are never the same. My purpose is to restore balance back into your life by using an integrative approach. When selecting interventions I take many factors into consideration.

I welcome the opportunity to work with clients at various stages of the human-life-cycle. I often work with people who feel stifled by feelings of anxiety and panic, depleted by feelings of depression, emptiness and hopelessness. While these powerful feelings can be overwhelming and disruptive, they are usually signs that something essential to our vitality, body, or relationships needs to be sensitively attended to and addressed. My goal is to assist my clients to live fuller and more satisfying lives and to achieve these goals in a short period of time. I work really hard for my clients and truly enjoy my profession.

People seek therapy because they need to make changes in their lives. Whether feeling overwhelmed by current circumstances or unable to break away from old patterns and struggles, therapy offers clarity, hope, and the possibility of change. My experience and education have led me to believe that one of the most important aspects of psychotherapy is the client-therapist relationship: therapy is a relationship based treatment. My client-centered approach is built on a positive, mutually respectful relationship. My approach is individually tailored for each client, taking into account their past and their current situation.

Disconnection hurts. It creates confusion, loneliness, anger, and sadness, and eventually, it can lead to breakups or divorce.

One of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story.

I have become very interested in the brain's functioning powers and how people can learn to re-wire neural networks, using strategies that can calm, relax, heighten a sense of personal control, diminish the power of old patterns, and strengthen healthy neural pathways. Research now shows that talking about what is causing tension, stress, or discomfort for you is good for your brain. It is good to find a therapist, a trusted friend or clergy worker to confide in and improve your life. I work with children of all ages, adult individuals, and couples and families who are having difficulties.
